Twitter has been ever-so-regularly pushing out updates to its official app for Android ever since the Ice Cream Sandwich OS was released on like, two, maybe three devices? Nevertheless, one would assume that Twitter doesn't want users looking for an alternative app when the official app among other things, touts being deeply integrated into the OS, so the updates keep on comin'

The latest includes improved scrolling for that smooth response when you frantically (or as a result of sheer and utter boredom) flip through your timeline. Additional additions include great language support, security improvements, and the popular "swipe" gesture on individual tweets to reveal more options (reply, retweet, favorite, etc.). "Everybody else is doing it" so Twitter made sure to include it on Android as well.

For the little time I had an ICS device in my possession, the official Twitter app looks pretty good and should me more than enough for the average, casual user. But there are so many 3rd party apps out there that do a multitude of things, so time will tell if the majority of Twitter-jockeys will opt for the official app or remain faithful to "the other guys"
